After that I only shoot at game or to discharge the cocked bow if drawn during the hunt and not shot. So, I probably shoot less than 25 times / year, just like some of my hunting rifles.

Same weight tips as well I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There�s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts. � Ronald Reagan

I just change sights, arrows and stabilizers depending on what game I'm playing. I shoot less during hunting season than any other time of year. Team Rack Addicts 2016 Aldeer Deer Champions

Probably summer is the least amount of time when I shoot, too hot!!! And I do practice with broad heads at times. Started shooting a recurve as well last year. Hope to hunt with it soon!! Lot of dedication needed for that!
